“…Often KHE presents as a cutaneous birthmark of torso or extremities Although benign, it can infiltrate into adjacent tissues, with an aggressive locally growing tumor and/or a life-threatening Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) of consumption coagulopathy (2). Although visceral involvement is very uncommon, KHE was reported to infiltrate paranasal sinuses (3), deltoid muscle, spleen, bone (4), retroperitoneal, mediastinal or intestinal involvement have been described (5). These tumors tend to be locally invasive.…”

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE), is a rare benign locally invasive proliferation of blood vessels that forms a mass. Besides the mass effect of KHE, it infiltrates adjacent tissues, it can be associated with severe thrombocytopenia, consumptive coagulopathy with high mortality rate. The manifestations of KHE are variable and range from cutaneous lesions with wide varieties of appearances to deep masses without cutaneous signs. We report a case of 3 month old male who presented as extrahepatic biliary atresia in the form of jaundice, hepatomegaly, clay colored stool and elevated liver enzymes. Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed pancreatic head solid mass. Operative findings and biopsy of the highly vascular lesion confirmed that it was KHE of head of pancreas. The mass was excised and hepatoportoenterostomy was successfully performed. One year later the boy is disease free with no organomegaly or any other complication. KHE of head of pancreas is a very rare cause of extrahepatic biliary obstruction early in life. It is amenable to successful surgical intervention.
